PRO GuIDe Touratech R9X, "the ultimate off-road Boxer" Always producing exciting 'specials', German adventure touring specialist Touratech made an exclusive short run of five of their proven 1200 cc R9X - "equipped with premium components". Features include 7 inch small, round headlights made by JW Speaker, Magura handlebar with HC3 hydraulic instruments, foldable hand levers with "robust" protectors and ultra-compact Motoscope Pro cockpit information centre. The mainframe is reinforced by two bolted girders for greater stiffness and has robust skid plate mounting independent of the engine. The adapted OE rear frame has been reinforced by struts with two robust rescue handles replacing the pillion crossbeams. An ultra-slim, especially designed sports seat is completed by tiny lights, combining indicator, taillight and stoplight. Like the levers, the premium footpeg construction is from lightweight, high- strength CNC-machined aluminium. A 48 mm upside-down TT Suspension sports fork leg has closed cartridges with adjustable spring preload and damping of the traction and compression phase are adjustable. The 21 and 18 inch spoked rims are made with high-strength aluminium with enduro style hubs. Features also include a sinter clutch made by ZF Race Engineering and stealth-style silencer by AC Schnitzer. TOURATECH GMBH Niedereschach, GERMANY Tel.

"In keeping with its throwback '80s styling and incorporating cutting-edge technology, our new “Red Power” slip-on excels all boundaries of design and performance. The discreet tapered outer sleeve features a state-of-the-art laser-etched logo and culminates in a multi-facetted CNC-machined end cap that incorporates Scorpion's world famous “Red Power” outlet port. "Manufactured to our usual exacting standards, the “Red Power” silencer gives an impressively deeper, more sports suited sound that reflects the internal build quality of the pipe. Developed initially for the Kawasaki Z900RS, the kit comes complete with all fittings for ease of installation". Dyno-tuned to ensure that no remapping is required, the company says that it delivers "a livelier throttle response and greatly improved aesthetics. Scorpion technicians also developed the slip-on system to house the OE heat shield. Buyers will be able to keep a retro feel by selecting a polished sleeve finish or add a slightly more modern look with the black ceramic option". All variants are EC certificated.
